Sunset Wading - John G. Perry

Sunset Wading' was the first solo venture for former Caravan Bass guitarist and Vocalist John G. Perry. By 1976 he had left Canterbury's finest band and had ploughed a furrow as a noted session musician and a member of Quantum Jump with producer Rupert Hine. 'Sunset Wading' saw Perry reunited with Caravan viola player and flautist Geoffrey Richardson as well as recruiting such notable musicians as Mike Giles (King Crimson), Rupert Hine and Roger Glover (Deep Purple). A fine example of mid-70's classic / progressive rock, this esoteric reissue has been remastered from the original master tapes and features fully restored artwork.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to release a newly remastered and expanded edition of the classic 1971 self titled second album by the legendary keyboard player and Camel member Peter Bardens. Prior to Bardens joining Andrew Latimer and co. to form Camel, he recorded two excellent solo albums for Transatlantic Records.

The first of these was The Answer (also released this month on Esoteric) and this superb eponymous second album. The album included such excellent tracks as Write My Name in the Dust and did much to enhance Bardens reputation as a musician and composer.

The music on both of Bardens solo albums would also map the route that he would take as a member of Camel. Both Peter Bardens releases have been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to release a newly remastered and expanded edition of the classic 1970 album The Answer by the legendary keyboard player and Camel member Peter Bardens. Prior to Bardens joining Andrew Latimer and co. to form Camel, he recorded two excellent solo albums for Transatlantic Records. The first of these was The Answer . The album included the side long opus Homage To The God Of Light , later performed by Camel in their live sets.

The album is expanded with both sides of the only single released by Bardens outfit Village, a group who also included future Elvis Costello band member Bruce Thomas and lasted just a few months in 1969.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce a newly
remastered edition of the 1979 solo album by former CAMEL keyboard player PETER
BARDENS.

"HEART TO HEART” was recorded after PETER BARDENS
departed CAMEL, the group he co-founded in 1972. The album saw Bardens compose
all the tracks and featured guests such as MEL COLLINS on Saxophone and Flute,
GUS ISADORE on Guitar and PETER VAN HOOKE on Drums.

Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded edition of the classic 1976 debut album by QUANTUM JUMP.

The band came together at Farmyard studios in Buckinghamshire in 1974 and comprised RUPERT HINE (Vocals, Keyboards), former Caravan member JOHN G. PERRY (Bass, Vocals), MARK WARNER (guitar) and former Peddlers member TREVOR MORAIS (drums).

The band’s self-titled debut album was written and recorded at Farmyard studios throughout 1975 and was eventually released on the Electric Records label in 1976 to critical acclaim. Stylistically the album featured a unique fusion of jazz and rock, displaying the excellent musicianship of the band members, along with a healthy sense of humour. The album featured outstanding tracks such as ‘No American Starship’, ‘Something at the Bottom of the Sea’ and perhaps the band’s most famous track ‘The Lone Ranger’ (originally issued as a single in 1976 and after considerable airplay was banned by the BBC for its lyrical content). Remixed in 1979 ‘The Lone Ranger’ became a top five UK hit.

Newly re-mastered from the original tapes, this reissue includes five rare bonus tracks, taken from a single and the 1979 remix compilation album "Mixing”. It also includes a booklet that fully restores the original album artwork and a new essay.
NB: This title is released on October 27, 2014 and will not be dispatched until this date.
